And just like that JT Miller is back to 1.0 ppg and on pace for 20 goals.
Ornery ?!?
Do modern NHL head coaches expect that kind of influence on the direction of the team? How many of them get that much say?
Doesn’t that happen sometimes?Ronning's Ghost wrote: ↑Mon Jan 06, 2025 9:04 pmOrnery ?!?
Dude asked a question, and was disappointed that nobody answered, so I did my best to explain.
Let's chalk this up as a lesson on how difficult tone and intent can be to convey on a message board.
I hope he doesn't want out and I hope they aren't looking to goon him. In the last 11 years they've had the corpse of AV, Torts, a quivering, dancing idiot that didn't know when to park his poppie, Green, Boudreau and "Tocchey Hockey"Mëds wrote: ↑Mon Jan 06, 2025 8:04 pmIt would be surprising though. Tocchet was the shortlist for JR/PA when they took the reins. Previous history, similar styles and approach.

I'm thinking lately that Ricky might wind up the fall guy here.
That did not occur to me and you could be right.
A twist on that.....does Tocchet want out because JR/PA committed to a player that he didn't think was a fit for the direction he wanted to take the team as head coach?
Yeah, I agree. A few days ago I posted the names of the coaches we've had in an all too short time.Blob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Wed Jan 08, 2025 7:27 amI hope he doesn't want out and I hope they aren't looking to goon him.
